Join in with the Turnin Rust crew as they attempt to bring some life back into this forgotten 1974 Ford Bronco. After finding it sitting for over 35 years, the guys discover that they not only purchased a cool classic truck, but also the home of several unwanted rodents. After uncovering a rat-infested engine, the team digs in and diagnosis what it will take to hear this abandoned jewel up and running again. Will this neglected Ford run again or has nature taken their final claim on this ol' girl?

i sit here watching your video as my grown mentally ill son yells and screams at his mother inside the house. when i get involved things just escalate so i'm hoping it calms down soon. he didn't used to be this way, a broken back and a lost life has made him isolated and angry. it's hard. i appreciate your videos because it reminds me of when he and i were best friends and would work on our projects together, sharing our lives and enjoying each other. thank you for the video. 👍

Prays for your son and the family . My sisters son is that way and she was the only one he would even think about lessoning to but she passed away back in the summer and my brother in law has a hard time . music is about the one thing that cools him down .he is 38 so he puts up good fight when he gets ready .that's bad kids have to be like that .all you can do is love love and keep on loving them. ❤

You are not alone dealing with a grown son that lives at home and gets angry with his parents all the time. Our son is 33 and moved back home about 3.5 years ago. He had been an OTR truck driver for several years. Made a lot of good money and had his act together. Two different women in his life absolutely shit on him and screwed his head up. For two years, he lived here with us and didn't work or do much of anything else. But about 8 months ago, he started working at a Valvoline Instant Oil change in town and he has turned completely around. He really likes his job. He doesn't make near as much money as he did on the road but he enjoys being able to come home every night. Things are finally starting to get better. He still has his bouts with depression and anger but they are becoming fewer and farther between. So I wish you the best luck in the world with your son. Like one of the other repliers commented, all you can do is love them and keep loving them. And pray for them. That is what my 89 year old mother has done for a couple of years now and I think it worked.

I had a 72 Bronco that looked exactly like yours. 302 Motor & standard trans. The floor was rusted and the frame eventually broke but it was lots of fun. Sold it for $1500 cdn and regretted it. These trucks are very desirable and much better than the new ones.

What a treat! I own a 1974 Bronco that my wife's father picked out for her in 1974. It sat for 9 years and I got it running after replacing a broken valve spring. 302 just like your's. Mine is automatic with a new paint like the original. Blue and white with red pin stripes. I'm restoring the interior now. It was great to see you work on an engine that I am so familiar with. Thanks for working on it. That Ford V8 is a real workhorse. No pun intended.

Don't see too many of these anymore up here in western Canada, so 'any' possible rebuilds on these Bronco's is worthy of taking on, as there will always be fewer and fewer over the years, making them more valuable. This one certainly has possibilities, albeit some metal work, body work and paint, and it could be a beaming jewel with some time and effort! Thanks for a nice 2023 on the video's guys, and will always be watching for more into the New Year! Best of the season to all your friends and family!

Incredible resurrection! When I first saw the price, I thought ya'll got a heck of a deal....then I saw the floors and that rats nest on the motor and figured maybe it wasn't such a great deal after all. But how incredible is it that the motor fired up and ran like that! Man, an old school set of white, wagon wheels and she would be a great little around town vehicle. Great job, fellas!

Just bought a 72 bronco ranger this week with a 302 3 on the tree... one owner all original, she's roughhhh even rougher than yours but I paid $3k for it so could be worse, all the trim is there, original hubcaps, like I said everything is there at least. His dad also took out the 3rd row seat when it was new to haul square bales so it at least has a brand new rear seat that's been in a garage 50ish years.

@greggsvintageworkshop8974 5 ай бұрын

Wow, now that was impressive! I'll admit that when I watched the auction I thought you were nuts spending the money for it. The Javelin was in much better shape than the Bronco, and they are super rare and bring six figures when restored. I was hoping for that, but you guys bought this instead. Well obviously you knew what you had, and this old girl runs and drives great. No smoke or anything. Great video and I'm sure you will have no trouble selling it for a tidy profit. Congrats and what a great video!!!

aww, what a rustbucket! :o but she runs, drives, and brakes. XD it could very well be that the foam in the corners made everything rust out like it did. Ford germany started to use foam by around 1970 on some models, others got it at 1975. after that you have many problems with rust, and repairing rust, as you have to remove the foam before you weld anything in, or you might end up with a nest of fire inside a spot you can't reach. other brands did it, too, and the cars all but corroded away preemptively. Mercedes used it on the /8 coupes, in the c-column, and you see some of those where the paint (and occasionally, the putty) chips away there. and then you just know there is trouble ahead. anyway, hope this Bronco gets restored. :) after all that it deserves it. ^^

У меня в шапе уже 2 года стоит рама с мотором и трансмиссией такого же форда - эксплорер едишн 4х4 1973 года. Отпескоструенная и покрашенная. Мотор 308 с трансмиссией в рабочем состоянии. Проблема в хорошем кузове. Никак не могу найти. Ржавые насквозь меня не устраивают. Есть пошитый салон по фабричным лекалам и много деталей салона. В этом году мою коллекцию пополнило 2 автомобиля, это Shevrolet Impala SS427 1967 года и Pontiac Star Chief Regency Ambulance 1956 года. У обоих превосходное состояние. Выезжали на них с женой на выставку выходного дня. Ваш канал смотрю время от времени. Мне нравится ваше отношение к старым американским автомобилям. Пишу на русском языке, потому что выходец из СССР, в США почти 30 лет. ***Всех поздравляю с Рождеством и НГ, СА, USA
